Hi. I'd like to make a simple DMS, users upload their PDFs/docs/ps/whatever and then they can search within the documents. I need to be able to automate the submission of documents as I'm part of a large research lab, we've accumulated a lot of papers over the years. Other than that I'd like a nice, simple authentication scheme. That's about it. Dead simple. Please help. I've got an instance of Zope running, with Plone. The plethora of tools is bewildering to me and I don't know what to use. I am a Python programmer (three years now I think) but I'd like to minimize the amount of code I have to write. Simplicity and ease of use are my watchwords. If Zope doesn't provide what I'm looking for, can you suggest anything else? Thank you. Josh.

I believe TextIndexNG will index contents of complex file types.

What exactly does "automate the submission of documents" mean?

Then stick with how it's already set up. Plone provides a nice UI for user management. --jcc -- "Building Websites with Plone" http://plonebook.packtpub.com/ Enfold Systems, LLC http://www.enfoldsystems.com

OK, that's great. Where do I find documentation to tell me how to set up the site?

I mean that I have a great deal of papers. I can't go through web forms to add all of these documents. I would like to be able to submit them through an automated process, I can't go through web forms by hand to add them all. I'm trying to convince my lab that this is a useful product. If I ask them to submit their papers one at a time I'll lose the argument and we won't use Zope.

Fair enough.

According to http://opensource.zopyx.biz/OpenSource/TextIndexNG3 "Ready-for-Plone (refer to installation notes in doc/README.txt)"

Use WebDAV, FTP, or Enfold Desktop. There are other methods, but these are easiest. --jcc -- "Building Websites with Plone" http://plonebook.packtpub.com/ Enfold Systems, LLC http://www.enfoldsystems.com
